Build successful but no OpenFaceCpp binary created under Linux

[mcajkovs]

I'm trying to compile OpenFaceCpp on Linux virtual machine (No CUDA support). Problem is that after compilation I do not have any OpenFaceCpp binary in build directory but on Windows I have OpenFaceCpp.exe

My configuration:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
G++: 7.3.0-16ubuntu3

Here are steps I've done to compile, basically everything worked according to README.md but I have to change -std=gnu++11 to -std=gnu++14 and fix one typo (sed commands):

marek@lubuntu18-64:~$ git clone https://github.com/aybassiouny/OpenFaceCpp.git
marek@lubuntu18-64:~$ cd OpenFaceCpp
marek@lubuntu18-64:~/OpenFaceCpp$ git submodule update --init

    Add torch installation Readme

    Add details how I got torch to work on my machine, should work everywhere. Next steps should be to have a docker.

I do not know if this matters bit when I try to run make (instead of cmake -build .) inside build dir I get those errors:

Hey, I indeed have been lately developing for windows instead of linux. I can't promise how soon I can provide such support. Would be nice if you can try and resolve the compile errors and make a pull request if you have the time.

I got similar errors when running "cmake -build ." on Raspbian. After changing on_createProcess_setup to on_exec_setup, GetLastError() to some temporary string "Error" and commenting out initializers::show_window(SW_NORMAL).on_CreateProcess_setup(e), the code somehow compiles, but this is temporary and unprofessional. I don't know what "show_window" does, but I couldn't find any replacement for Linux. Error handling is to be corrected as well.

Thing is, the code compiles, but does it compile correctly? I got no run_tests.cpp but I don't know whether it is somehow connected.

Should I run install.sh at all? When I try to, I got another errors connected with "make_unique", but adding -std=gnu++14 flag to the file won't work.

Any resolution for this issue?
